The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and operating temperatures.
Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to condition stacked cartons of paper.
NOTE: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the temperature difference between the storage area and the operating environment, not actual room temperatures.

Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.) If you want to move ten cartons of paper from a storage area with a
temperature of 90 oF to an operating area with a temperature of
75 oF (a 15o difference), you should do so at least 14 hours before using the paper.
